TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. This is the main protocol used in IP networks to provide reliable transfer of data as it is a connection oriented protocol. TCP Optimizer is easy to use when tweaking the settings on it automatically, optimizing when the other basic inputs are in place. The settings need to be saved in backup files in case a mistake is encountered when tweaking registry settings. Whenever Windows is installed there are predetermined settings stored in the registry and its task is to limit the amount of data users can transfer over this network at any given time.
TCP Optimizer is a free and easy windows program which provides an intuitive interface used for the tuning and optimization of the internet connection. There are no installations required for it since it is simply downloaded and run. TCP Optimizer is an important program utilized in the finding of the best RWIN and MTU values, for test latency as well as tweaking all important broadband related registry parameters. It also helps the tuning of any internet connection type, gigabit+ and dialup, cable satellite, DSL to the commercial leased lines. For easy reversal of the changes TCP Optimizer creates automatic backup for all parameters. The TCP Optimizer version 2.0.3 for example is bug fixing release.
When the TCP Optimizer changes the default settings the connection speed is maximized and maximum amounts of data are transferred over that network any given time. MTU which is the maximum transmission unit is usually as large as the largest datagram the network can send. TCP selects the best value of MTU in improving the connection speed to higher performances. To use a TCP Optimizer is easy as it automatically optimizes the connection speed once the basic inputs are supplied. The other process involve the connection speed slider being adjusted from the menu, the network adaptor selected followed by a click on the optimal settings to tweak the connection speed. Another reason for making a backup of the settings is because as TCP Optimizer is accomplishing its tasks it simultaneously edits the registry.
TCP Optimizer uses very advanced algorithms together with the bandwidth delay product in locating the best TCP window for ones specific connection speed. The TCP Optimizer program is compatible with all current versions of windows. Its tools like testing average latency perform for multiple hosts and find the largest possible packet size.
